ABSTRACT:
A method for transmitting power to the wheels of a motor vehicle includes driveably connecting an output of a transmission to a first set of wheels, varying the magnitude of torque transmitted to an input of a differential mechanism, varying the speed of the input of the first differential mechanism, and driveably connecting the differential mechanism to the wheels of a second wheel set.
